After Es-kim-in-zin.

proceed under cover of darkness to the rear of the camp of the Indians, with a guide, while Sheriff Fryer and those without horses should proceed to the camp direct, and the several wickiups should be surrounded and the inmates arrested as they emerged, without harm ing them. But when the river was reach ed it was found too high to ford, and the posse returned to the ranch. The next morning a courier came from Lieutenant Watson, informing the sheriff that Es- kim-in-zin and his Indians were at Judge George Scott's, ready to surrender. This put a new phase on the matter and the sheriff and two or three others finally succeeded in crossing the San Pedro and proceed ed to Scott's.
 It seems that, although Capt. Pierce, acting agent at San Carlos, had previous ly refused 10 make the arrests by mili- tary force for the reason that Es-kim-in- gin and his band were occupying lands in severalty and formed no part of the reservation Indians, they being amenable solely to thecivil authorities for their crimes as any citizen would be, he had l sent Lieut.. Watson with Bob Mcintosh the interpreter, to investigate the lar cenies alleged to have been committed by l the Indians as well as the resistance of - fered the sheriff.
 Upon reaching Judge Scott's MT. Fryer found Es-kim-in-zin and fifteen of his band, all armed. Eight of the Indians were identified as the ones wanted, in- cluding Es-kim-in-zn. They were taken aside and gave up their knives and guns to their tribe and held as under arrest Then came long barley with Es-kim-in- zln concerning their disposition, the In- dians wanting an immediate examination before Justice Scott and the Sheriff firm in his decision that they should go to Florence and appear before Justice B. J. Whiteside from whose court the pro- cess was issued. Es-kim-in finally agreed to submit, upon being assured that no harm would be done them other than that accorded by law for the crimes | alleged to have been committed. He then went away to camp promising to l bring back lame Indian, Ru Lima, (who had taken advantage of the absence of all of the Sheriffs posse, still beyond the river, to skip out) by noon the next day, to attend the exa imitation set for two o'clock sharp. The sheriff then dispatched his courier for District Attor- ney Sloan and Justice B. J. Whiteside MT. Fryer, in arguing with Justice Scott, was plainly told that he, Scott, would discharge the Indians, no matter what the evidence might be; that it was public policy to do so, which naturally increased the sherifPs desire to regularly carry out the plain letter of his duty in | the premises and to frustrate such an absurd farce.
 Lieut.. Watson, after learning the sheriffs unalterable intentions, mounted his horse shortly before noon of the day set for the examination, and rode away It was supposed that he had gone to the store for more whiskey as he had been very drunk portion of the time and was not strictly sober at any time. It seems, however, that his errand was for another purpose, and when he returned, Fryer overheard tbe interpreter tell Justice Scott, that Es-kim-in-zin and his band would not return. When Fryer de. handed an explanation the interpreter | told him the Indians had gone to San Carlos. MT. Fryer then tax ed the Lieu tenant with dou uble-dealing, he finally ad- mitting having told Eskiminzin if he did not want to get arrested and taken to | Florence to go to the reservation.
 Incensed at this exhibition of per6dy and official turpitude, the sheriff then or. dered his posse, that had shortly before reach he'd Scott's place, to give chase to tht Indians and to bring them in if found
 without harming them if possible, but tC
 bring them in. They followed the trai
 and run them so closely by nightfall tha
 the band scatte cred, leaving behind then
 much of their effects along the trail
